A Dominican is a person from the Dominican Republic, a small banana republic in the Caribbean. Many live in the New York City and are known for mostly for dealing drugs, destroying property, fighting, yelling when they speak, wearing tight clothes over obese bodies, playing music so loud it makes your filling rattle and throwing their trash out windows. They are almost permanently mired in the lower economic rungs due to their propensity to party 95% of the time and their disinterest in education. Many drive liveries. The remainder do nothing, but make noise and sell drugs.
Hey some Dominicans are barbecuing on the street, throwing their trash everywhere, and playing music so loud it makes your fillings rattle.

Ok, some of these definitions come off as being very moronic. Let me first address that I am proud of my culture, but these definitions just scream stereotypical and inaccurate and made me die a little inside.
A Dominican is someone who is a native of the Dominican Republic. They DO NOT hate Puerto Ricans. This is garbage started by teens my age. Not all Dominicans are Campesinos. However, those who come to the United States are mainly from poorer areas. This doesnt only apply to us, EVERY nation in the world has low class citizens. Those from lower classes are usually deprived of education. Dominicans and Hatians are NOT the same thing. They both speak different languages. Second of all, their cultures are different. Blacks and Dominicans are not the same thing either. Yes, many have African ancestry, It doesn’t mean they should consider themselves strictly 'black' with the ancestry they have little intact with. Not all are illegal. Some may be, but not ALL. Not all work at bodegas, Barber shops or become Pro Baseball Players. Why not open a history book and see those who mastered in Medicine or those who attended Medical schools in DR where many go to study an exceptional field in Medicine? The list goes on. Not all have a Ghetto Mentality. Yes unfortunately, there are a number of young kids who end up with wrong groups of people and do wrong mainly to themselves. There are also those who have their mindset geared towards a successful life, too.

Dominican can represent people from two different nationalities
1. The most known one is people from, or have family from the Dominican Republic, who are Hispanic
2. The other is people from the Caribbean country of Dominica, who usually aren't Hispanic
Just wanted to clear things up for those who don't know

The word Dominican can be used when talking about someone from the Dominican Republic OR someone from Dominica. Dominica is a completely separate island located between Puerto Rico and Trinidad and Tobago.
Person 1: I'm Dominican.
Person 2: Can you speak Spanish?
Person 1: No, I'm not 'Dominican' as in Dominican Republic. I'm Dominican as in I'm from the Caribbean island of Dominica.

A Dominican is one whose heritage is traced to the Dominican Republic (disambiguation between dominican from the Dominican Republic and the island of Dominica). Dominicans occupy a little more than half of the island of la Hispaniola in the Caribbean. Their culture is one mixed with Spanish, Taino and some fragmented African traditions and genealogies. In the US, Dominicans are known for excelling in the sport of baseball. Dominicans are also widely known for their skill in hair styling and distribution of effective hair and aesthetic products. Women from the Dominican Republic are also among the world's most beautiful and exotic. Some Dominican trademarks include merengue (as well as dominican reggaeton artists), highly acclaimed beer Presidente, high-grade beverage Mamajuana, Mangu (plantain dish), an officially established territory occupying a big part of Manhattan (NY), known as Washington Heights (a.k.a "lo platano').
Generally, dominicans are viewed as very friendly people who are very proud of their culture. Often misconceptions have revolved around dominicans wanting to be puerto rican. As of early, this myth has been debunked. Studies have shown that while Puerto Rico has been better off economically, most Dominicans 'lost respect' for their cousin country for giving up its independence as a latin country to the US and thus becoming a commonwealth. Being ridiculed for this, Puerto Ricans have harbored feelings of resentment against dominicans and defend themselves by saying that dominicans want to be like them. Other surveys concluded that Dominicans take pride in their language and culture, while an alarming percentage of boricuas hardly speak spanish or not at all. Overall, the dominican/rican rivalry has not been ongoing for long, but it is a rather recent enmity ignited by foreign policy.
Dominicans are skilled in music (as well as Cubans and Puerto Ricans)
